It Starts With the Egg- Helpful or not?
My husband and I will be doing our first
cycle sometime this year before June. I’ve recently purchased the book “It Starts With The Egg” after seeing many recommendations on her and other infertility sites.
Has anyone had success because of this book? I’m very leery of taking any supplements without the approval of my doctor. I’ll ask about this book when I have my initial consult with the
IVF
clinic next month, but I was wondering if any of you had advice from your doctor that agreed with the advice in the book? Please- ONLY give me advice if it’s what you heard from your doctor, not from Google :) I just want to make sure that I wouldn’t be doing more harm than good with some of the supplements (DHEA, Melatonin, etc). I definitely agree with the idea of exercising and eating nutrient dense foods that avoid toxins/processed ingredients as much as possible.
Thank you!!
EDIT: I have stage 2 endometriosis (recently removed via laparoscopy) and two completely blocked tubes with endo inside the tubes, which cannot be reached to be unlocked :( Husband’s SA is totally normal. His morphology was on the low side of normal, but still normal. I ovulate naturally with 26-28 day cycles. My follicle counts are generally between 14-17 each month. My uterine lining is usually on the low side, and I’ve taken baby aspirin, Dividel, Femara, and the Ovidrel Trigger shot to help plump up my lining to be thicker than 8mm. Last cycle we got it to 9mm💪🏻 At the beginning of everything (before treatments) my lining was measuring 2-3mm!
